Delhi: Inebriated man kills wife, resorts to necrophilia
The murdered was under influence and committed the crime owing to suspicion that the wife was having an alleged affair.
The incident took place on May 30.
Reports said that Pradeep Sharma, the murderer, often quarreled with his wife Monica, over monetary issues.
The May 30 incident was instigated by an eviction notice which they were served after the couple failed to pay their rent.
Sharma allegedly smashed his wife's face with a brick and followed it up with repeated banging of her head against the wall. The inebriated man performed intercourse after wiping his wife's bloodied face before falling to sleep beside the body.
DCP (west) Pushpendra Kumar was quoted by Hindustan Times as saying, "He took away her mobile phone and other articles which could help identify them. He even informed his father he had killed his wife and then switched off his phone."
A manhunt began, following which the murderer was captured and brought to custody.
"We then received information that Pradeep was hiding near Nangloi railway station and planned to take a train to UP. Teams were deployed at Nangloi, Shakur Basti, Old and New Delhi railway stations for two days round-the-clock till he was arrested," Kumar added.
